Above: Mrs. Stetson's 8th grade English students took on the role of advocate this week as they designed posters for their main character’s cause. Students used their classroom Cricut machine to design and develop their posters. As the great Albert Einstein once said, "Creativity is intelligence having fun." Our students personified this quote and it was a joy to see this on full display!
